Set Up Coding Agents

Get Started

curl -fsSL https://www.beam.cloud/agents.sh | sh

This installs the CLI and agent tools, opens browser sign-in, checks credits, and creates a verified VM. If funding is needed, complete checkout in the browser; setup resumes when credits arrive. It prints a dashboard link for your workload and logs. Restart your agent after setup. Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop are supported. Choose another starting point by passing an option with sh -s --:

Starting point	Option
Virtual machine	Default
Sandbox	`--sandboxes`
Inference endpoint	`--inference`
Function	`--functions`
CLI and agent tools only	`--onboarding agent`

For example:

curl -fsSL https://www.beam.cloud/agents.sh | sh -s -- --sandboxes

Configure an Existing Installation
